DailyDirt: Cutting Up Your Food...
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
Those of us in the US will be thankful tomorrow for a bunch of things, and we'll probably be eating unusually large meals. For those of us who aren't accustomed to entertaining guests, the timing of cooking a big meal often gets hung up in the food preparation -- taking too long to chop vegetables and such. So here are just a few tips on how to cut up some foods. (You're welcome.)- Do you have trouble cutting open a pomegranate? There are at least a couple methods that claim to be better than just chopping it in half and starting to peel at random. [url]
- Most folks don't really need to cut bananas before they eat them, but if you do -- and you have a needle handy -- this video is for you. Maybe this is a goofy trick to play on someone, but it's not really that useful for making a banana any easier to eat. Try cutting a watermelon in 2 minutes instead. [url]
- The officially correct way to cut an onion doesn't care about you crying your eyes out. It's all about the base -- and not cutting it off until you're almost done. [url]
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Extracting The Good Stuff From A Pomegranate
I only did one cut, to split it into halves with a knife. The rest was breaking the pieces apart with my hands, and extracting the seeds. The secret was to feel around and find weak spots, so I could gently break the pieces into smaller pieces. Otherwise if you use your strength to force it part, the seeds will fly everywhere.
In the end only maybe a dozen seeds ended up in unwanted places...
